I really loved the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin, and have been wanting to reread them, which I don't do with many books, plus read her other stuff.

Also, it's fantasy not sci-fi but I'm currently reading Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse and liking it so far.

I found three of your subs, not realizing one person started them all, thank you! I was especially missing awwnverts, and then was happy to subscribe to comic strips and hadn't ever thought about weird wheels but was intrigued enough to join : )

I love seeing examples of the old ways still being produced. I always thought old glass panes weren't totally flat because of the way things like glass and vinyl warp, and now I'm wondering if it was actually just that way since production. I'm not sure how long it takes glass to warp like that or how it would look different from drawn glass

Neat, I never even thought about why window panes were a thing. I like to make a game almost of not taking things for granted but that's impossible to do completely, and it's fun when some knowledge and insight comes along about an aspect of how things work that was invisible to me
